About Calories
The food we eat and beverages we drink all contain calories, which is a measure of energy. Another definition of calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of water by one degree. It's recommended that humans consume at least 2,000 calories per day in order to maintain their weight and for enough energy to perform daily tasks.
About Fat
Fat is a nutrient that is essential for the body to function normally. Fat supplies energy to the body and makes it possible for the other nutrients to do their jobs. Unfortunately, we often consume far more fat than is necessary, which can lead to excess cholesterol and obesity, which are two factors that increase the risk of heart disease.
